Wow - this was easy.

There I was writing my own blog-site CMS solution, when the inspiration suddenly hit me: Why not see what my fellow open-source dweebs have cobbled-together for ready reuse?

So I did and here it is.

How long?

After spending a few dozen minutes reviewing the code from just as many entries, this entire project took less than 10 minutes to get it installed, configured, and tested. After a few security-hacking attempts on my part, what you see here represents about an hour more spent making it all look a little more custom.

Bottom line

Astounding! But what am I going to do with all of the Thanksgiving Vacation time I saved up for this week? (Honestly: this re-use just pushed us about 2 part-time, scheduled calendar-time years ahead of the project's R&D curve!)

Coming soon

Oh well: The plans are to re-host as much of the recent 'blogging traffic here as I can. Over time, I also plan to migrate everything from those 20 year-old BYTE Magazine articles, to my most recent + fatuitous entries at Network World.
